A glance at the calendar reminds us all that August will shortly come to an end. Why does that matter? Kamala Harris -- or her campaign -- promised that she would make herself available for in-depth interviews by the end of the month. Both ABC News and Politico openly wondered today when, or if, Harris would offer them some joy.
ABC News points out that this has become a talking point for Republicans, which is the usual context of such reporting. At least they're asking, though:
Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to soon face her first post-convention test when she sits for a formal interview
"White Fragility" author Robin DiAngelo may have plagiarized multiple scholars, including minority writers, in her 2004 Ph.D. thesis, according to a report Monday.
A complaint filed with the University of Washington and shared with the Washington Free Beacon found dozens of examples of DiAngelo lifting material from other papers without proper attribution, in-text citations or quotation marks in her dissertation.
This included material from two Asian-American professors, University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Stacey Lee and Northeastern University professor Thomas Nakayama.
Canada, following the lead of the United States and European Union, said on Monday it would impose a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese electric vehicles and announced a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum from China. The duties apply to all EVs shipped from China, which would include those made by Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab, a Canadian government official said. Canadian imports of automobiles from China to its largest port, Vancouver, jumped 460% year over year to 44,356 in 2023, when Tesla started shipping Shanghai-made EVs to Canada.
"I think we all know that China is not playing by the same rules," he told reporters.
Independent left-wing presidential candidate Dr. Cornel West told said Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign offered him a job in her potential administration, and to pay his campaign debts, if he dropped out of the 2024 race.
West made the stunning accusation after the close of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, in an interview with independent journalist Jordan Chariton on the Status Coup News podcast.The two discussed offers to drop out in anticipation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anticipated decision to suspend his campaign (in battleground states) and to endorse former President Donald Trump.
Finally, after ducking an interview since she was handed the Democratic nomination for president on a silver platter, Kamala Harris is going to do an interview.
Of course, because it's the Democrats, you always know there's a little more to that story. It's not going to be a live interview. It's going to be on CNN and it will be taped. And the person conducting it will be Dana Bash, the same person who contested that Harris had been appointed border czar. So, you know even before we get to the interview, it's probably going to be a softball piece.
The worst president in modern history has passed the baton to an even worse candidate, Kamala Harris. Harris is calling for government control of all commerce -- though she calls her plan “price controls” rather than communism. Her running mate, Tim Walz, is considerably less nuanced. He endorses communism as “people sharing with each other.”
Kamala Harris has failed at every job she has held. She was the top law enforcement officer in San Francisco. It’s now a cesspool of crime, drug abuse, and homelessness. Then she took her San Fransisco policies statewide as the California Attorney General. Now one of the most naturally blessed states in the country is experiencing
Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will sit with CNN for their first joint interview on Thursday as Democrats work to broaden their base’s excitement from last week’s Democratic National Convention.
The interview, conducted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, will air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. It occurs as the candidates embark on a bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia and marks the first time Harris has sat with a journalist for an in-depth, on-the-record conversation since President Joe Biden dropped his bid for a second term and endorsed her on July 21.
CLAIM: Kamala Harris “took on one of our country’s largest for-profit colleges that scammed students.”
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Harris rejected a deal to save the college, and thousands of students had their education interrupted.
Vice President Kamala Harris has a rather thin record of achievement. One of the few accomplishments she is trying to point to is her involvement in the closure of Corinthian College, a for-profit institution that Democrats had targeted. She claimed in an Instagram post:
As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our country’s largest for-profit colleges that scammed students. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students.
One of things you’re not supposed to do when you’re in the business of news reporting, or political commentary, is repeat yourself. Saying the same things over and over again is usually a good way to turn off your audience. Everyone in the media knows this, and political campaigns know it too. They count on it. They think that if they just ignore inconvenient facts — no matter how bad they may be — then eventually people will stop talking about them.
That’s why I’m going to begin by repeating a highly inconvenient fact that the Kamala Harris campaign apparently wants everyone to ignore, even though it’s unprecedented in modern politics.
Earlier on Tuesday, as Mia covered, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment against former and potentially future President Donald Trump in the January 6 case. With considerable righteous indignation, Trump reacted to the news in a series of posts to his Truth Social account. Trump began with strong words for Smith, referring to the move as "an effort to resurrect a 'dead' Witch Hunt in Washington, D.C., in an act of desperation, and in order to save face," calling Smith out for being "Deranged" and saying he was "illegally appointed."
Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest presidential campaign ad features border wall along the United States-Mexico border that was built under former President Donald Trump. Open sections of the wall featured in the ad were halted for a period of time on Harris and President Joe Biden’s watch.
The ad seeks to portray Harris as a defender of the nation’s border and shows distinct footage of border wall in Sasabe, Arizona. The footage was seemingly taken from a Voice of America news clip published in May of this year.
There are few cheerleaders more reliable than Kamala Harris's friends in the liberal media.
Ever since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election race last month, their print presses and TV networks have put in a hard shift trying to paper over Harris's past record as the most unpopular Vice President in American history.
To read and listen to their florid praise is to believe that Harris is already a shoo-in for president – and not an 11th hour replacement as Democratic nominee.That was until her lackluster Thursday night speech at last week's Democratic National Convention –
The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported that Iran has supplied Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy forces with electromagnetic ordnance, which can disable communication systems and shut down radars. Rotem Mey-Tal, CEO of Asgard Systems, a company developing military technology for the defense industry and the initiator of the "30U30 in Defense" competition for 2024, discussed the issue.
First, what is electromagnetic ordnance?
(snip) In essence, imagine lightning striking the building you live in, not hitting a lightning rod or antenna, but the entire building, causing all the electrical panels, water heaters, water and electrical systems, household appliances, computers, television systems, and even life-saving medical systems to stop working.
All icing and no cake.
That’s the only way to describe the Democratic National Convention that mercifully ended Thursday night with Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as the party’s improbable nominee.
The icing, of course, was all the joy shoved down America’s collective throats from Chicago, a city where more than two dozen have been shot since the convention began, all without a care in the world about the state of the country. On Night Three alone, the word “joy” was said 30 times by various speakers.
But that wasn’t close to the word uttered most from podium.
Instead, the gold medal goes to a name: Trump.
Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson has said she is preparing herself to rule on the outcome of a disputed presidential election.
In an interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, Jackson said the court must be prepared for such an outcome.
“I think there are legal issues that arise out of the political process,” Jackson said during an interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell. “And so, the Supreme Court has to be prepared to respond — if — if that should be necessary.”
O’Donnell then asked Jackson point blank whether she was personally prepared for a Supreme Court ruling.
The race for Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District is in a dead heat, according to a new poll paid for by the Derrick Anderson campaign.
Anderson, a Republican, and Democrat Eugene Vindman are running to represent the district in the upcoming November election. ccording to the poll, seventeen percent of voters are undecided and nearly one in four independents are undecided.
The survey had a margin of error of 4.9 percent.
“Less than half of voters have heard of either Anderson or Vindman,” the survey conclusion says.
Washington — Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday in which he again accused Trump of resisting the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. Smith narrowed the allegations after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential power earlier this year.
The new 36-page charging document is based on a more refined set of allegedly criminal acts after the Supreme Court ruled Trump was immune from prosecution for some of the conduct included in Smith's original 45-page indictment returned last year.
Prosecutors maintained the four counts against Trump that he previously faced — including conspiracy
A current top campaign adviser for VP Kamala Harris was deeply involved in pushing Facebook to suppress "misinformation" in an effort to control the political narrative on COVID and other issues. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday while expressing regret that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content, bringing to the forefront actions taken by Harris' deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty as part of that pressure campaign.
Flaherty, who previously served as the White House director of digital strategy, helped lead the campaign to target alleged "misinformation" relating to the COVID-19 virus and its vaccinations
In a fiery post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced that he has reached an agreement with the “Radical Left Democrats” for a debate with comrade Kamala Harris.
The event is set to be broadcast live on ABC, a network Trump has frequently criticized, on Tuesday, September 10th, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Harris is demanding a seated format and permission to use a “cheat-sheet” during the live debate—an unprecedented move that Trump’s campaign has swiftly condemned. This, they argue, is yet another example of Harris’s reluctance to face tough questions and her inability to handle the pressure of live debates.
“Race and gender” are key criteria in Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of a media personality to host her first sit down interview since joining the presidential race, a report Monday in Politico Playbook revealed.
The criteria spotlights the close-mindedness of Harris’s world view, as she attempts to rally support from rural white voters in swing states. The demographic is key to winning the 2024 presidential election, political experts believe.
Harris will purportedly sit for an interview this week as part of her campaign’s ramped-up strategy heading into the post-Labor Day push, Axios reported, but questions remain about who she will select to host the interview.
The elderly parents of the man said to be behind a second attempt on the life of Donald Trump have spoken out about how anger and hatred consumed his life.
Lee and Phyllis Syvrud told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview, they knew their son Ronald, a convicted sex offender with a long rap sheet, detested Trump – but they don’t believe he would have followed through on his threats.
‘I think it’s just him trying to get attention and talk tough,’ Phyllis, 89, told DailyMail.com.
President Joe Biden left a week long California vacation Monday and headed back to the East Coast. His destination wasn't Washington D.C. or the White House. Instead, he's back in Delaware for an additional two weeks at the beach. His schedule remains blank after receiving the "president's daily brief." [Tweet]
The call time for reporters in Rehoboth, where Biden is staying in his beach house, was pushed to 11 am Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre is also missing in action and has no planned briefings on the schedule.
Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is a “fake,” Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, said on Tuesday, as both the Harris campaign and the establishment attempt to portray her as tough on the border and passionate about border security — neither of which is true.
“Kamala Harris is a fake. If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!” Vance said, responding to an Axios piece that attempts to spread falsehoods about Harris’s supposed support of a border wall and border security. (X) “If she’s elected president, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall
A violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua has spilled into Aurora, Colorado, despite the fact that the city wanted “no part” in welcoming so-called “asylum seekers” as a result of President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
According to a report from the New York Post, Aurora has a population of 390,000 residents. Now, it’s become the base of operations for the gang, which has seized apartment complexes and instigated a crime wave.
In February, the Aurora City Council reportedly passed a resolution 7-3 stating that it will not provide resources for illegal immigrants brought into the town from neighboring cities, notably, Denver.
One of the great things about sports is that you can find quirky stories if you pay attention. And a fascinating story emerged on Monday in a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.
The Blue Jays and the Red Sox were playing on June 26 when a shower came up, which led the umpires to call the game. At the time, Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was at bat, which meant that, according to baseball rules, he would resume his at-bat when the two teams rescheduled the game.
Both teams were able to find the time to schedule the rest of the game on Monday,

Unfortunately, mishaps do happen. On Tuesday morning, a terrible accident at a Delta Airlines maintenance facility near Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport claimed the lives of two employees and severely injured another. [Tweet]

During the 2016 presidential campaign, tens of millions of Americans turned away from the two elitist, entrenched political parties and toward then-New York City businessman Donald Trump. They did so like someone drowning in turbulent waters who is suddenly thrown a lifeline. Support for Trump became a survival instinct for the millions who viewed him as their last hope.
Come 2023 and 2024, millions of Americans cast their eyes toward Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Like Trump, they saw him as a non-politician who could not be cowered or controlled by the special interests. They saw Kennedy as a truthteller who would fight for them against the elites in both parties.
A new poll indicates a deadlocked Senate race in Maryland, where Republicans are aiming to flip a long-held Democrat seat in an overwhelmingly blue state in a key contest that may decide if the GOP wins back the chamber's majority. Former two-term Gov. Larry Hogan - the Republican nominee in the race - and Democratic nominee Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks both stand at 46% support among likely voters in Maryland, according to an AARP public opinion survey released on Tuesday.
Seven percent were undecided, according to the survey conducted Aug. 14-20.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby held a phone gaggle with reporters on Monday where he spoke about the third anniversary of the deadly Abbey Gate terror bombing at the Kabul airport during Biden’s retreat from Afghanistan that killed 13 servicemembers and over 150 Afghans and wounding dozens more.
One reporter asked Kirby why neither Biden, on vacation in Delaware, nor Kamala Harris, hiding out from reporters in Washington, held any public observance of the anniversary of the attack like Trump did at Arlington Cemetery Monday morning with several Gold Star families and Abbey Gate survivors. Kirby said that Trump was personally invited by the families
Donald Trump vowed to release the remaining files on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy if he is elected president for a second term.
The ex-president previously said he would declassify the documents, but was urged not to by one of his senior cabinet members, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It now seems that Trump had a change of heart after an assassin made a failed attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot Trump's right ear.
David Plouffe, who managed President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and advised Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s controversial “Zuckerbucks” effort in 2020, is now advising Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
A report in early August noted that Harris had brought several senior Obama veterans on board, including Plouffe. Many observers noted that Harris’s message improved remarkably from that point, including the emphasis on “joy” as a way to explain her odd laugh, and as a central focus of the party at the Democratic National Convention last week.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted, in an effort to cover himself, that the Biden-Harris regime put relentless pressure on him to censor truthful and critical information from the public.
In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg openly admitted that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was subjected to relentless pressure by the Biden administration to censor content related to COVID-19, even when the content was satirical or humorous, and the infamous Hunter Biden laptop.
Zuckerberg also addressed the financial contributions he made through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, better known as Zuckerbucks, during the 2020 election cycle.
The state of Mississippi is spending over $100 million on illegal immigration, according to a new report by the state -- with the governor blaming it on an "intentional failure" by the Biden-Harris administration to secure the border. The report by the Mississippi state auditor found that there are at least 22,000 illegal immigrants in the state. Analysts estimate that it costs taxpayers over $100 million annually, with more than $25 million to educate illegal immigrants in public school alone.
Meanwhile, taxpayers spend $77 million to provide health care for illegal immigrants and their children, and another $1.7 million to incarcerate illegal immigrant criminals, it found.
Effective July 2025, teacher licensing rules passed last year in Minnesota under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz will ban practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in public schools. (snip) Starting next July, Minnesota agencies controlled by Walz appointees will require teacher license applicants to affirm transgenderism and race Marxism. Without a teaching license, individuals cannot work in Minnesota public schools, nor in the private schools that require such licenses.
The latest version of the regulations requires teachers to “affirm” students’ “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” to receive a Minnesota teaching license:
Kamala Harris has repeatedly said she would shut down Donald Trump's border wall project and once called it a 'medieval vanity project' and a 'waste of taxpayer'.
But now that she is the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has allegedly and suddenly vowed to sign a bill that would allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to continue building a wall along the southern border, according to a report. Materials for Trump's wall sit and decay in border states ever since the construction came to a screeching halt when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris took office in 2021. The flip-flop came during her speech
Kamala Harris has now been in the presidential race for over a month. During that time she has done no interviews and press conferences, instead relying on anonymous aides to leak her supposed positions to the press.
Time is now running out on her game of hide-and-seek. Speaking to the press in early August, Harris told reporters that she would do a sit-down interview "before the end of the month." With that deadline fast approaching, it's becoming more and more obvious she's terrified to follow through. According to Politico, the vice president has her handlers using a new strategy to see who she'll finally talk to.

An Oklahoma community expressed outrage after a high school student was banned from flying the American flag on his truck.
The decision sparked a patriotic protest from students and parents outside Edmond North High School who responded by flying a number of American flags on campus in support of the student.
Caleb Horst, a senior at the school, said he was left confused by the school telling him to stop flying the stars and stripes on his pickup, particularly as he had already been 'flying it for quite a while.'

An Israeli hostage being held by Hamas was rescued by special forces from a tunnel beneath southern Gaza on Tuesday, the IDF said.
Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was kidnapped by the terror group on Oct. 7, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the Israeli military.
Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said. The first image of Alkadi post-rescue showed him seated in a hospital gown alongside a grinning relative.
The 2024 hurricane season is not going as predicted – yet. So far this year, including the three that are spinning Monday, there have been more storms in the Pacific than the Atlantic, and that's a bit of a surprise, forecasters say. In addition, it's been eerily calm in the Atlantic over the past week or so as we approach what's traditionally the busiest time of the season. "It is quiet out there," Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach told USA TODAY on Monday. "I certainly wasn't expecting this when we put out our most recent seasonal forecast!" "We haven't had

Election officials in the key swing state of Pennsylvania are warning voters that the results of the 2024 presidential race may not be ready on election night in November.
Monday’s Fox News report comes as former President Donald Trump (R) and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), are campaigning against Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and her running mate, radical leftist Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).The article continued:
To avoid repeated controversy from four years ago, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt — a Republican appointed by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2023 — is explaining to voters that state law prohibits county boards of elections from
If past is prologue, Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania.
Eight years ago this week, Hillary Clinton led in Pennsylvania by more than nine points; four years ago, Joe Biden led by nearly six points. Clinton lost Pennsylvania by less than a point, while Biden won it by more than a point.
Heading into the Democratic National Convention, the Emerson/RealClearPennsylvania poll showed Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris by a point.
Averaging together the Pennsylvania polling taken since Harris became the Democratic Party’s nominee, the state’s presidential race is a dead heat.

We’ve noticed over the last couple of decades a repeating cycle in which finger-wagging scolds tell us that we need to drop some of the conveniences of modernity as sacrifices to Gaia, our Mother Earth. Two examples that have come around more frequently than Halley’s Comet have been the loony broadsides launched against air conditioning and showers.
Now add to that a campaign aimed at refrigeration, because it causes “wide-ranging climate implications.”
Nicola Twilley, author of “Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves,” seems to be on a crusade to reverse the benefits of refrigeration.
Trump’s narrow 2016 victory in Michigan, where he won by just 10,704 votes (0.22%), marked the first time a Republican had claimed the state’s 16 electoral votes since George H. W. Bush in 1988. However, in 2020, he lost the state by 154,181 votes, or 2.78%.
The question now looms: Can he reclaim the Great Lakes State in 2024? Historically, polls have often underestimated Trump’s performance in Michigan while overestimating that of his Democratic opponents. As baseball legend Yogi Berra famously said, "It ain't over till it's over." This adage holds especially true for the three tier-1 swing states: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Trump
replies
Honestly, I thought she had endorsed Trump a long time ago. Tulsi’s long goodbye from the Democratic Party has taken her to precincts like CPAC and, going on two years ago, my own organization’s Fall Briefing. Looking back at my post on that event, I am reminded of how impressed I was by her.
Tulsi may be an attractive woman, but much more importantly she comes across as a serious, and above all military, person. She is very smart and also empathetic. Our audience loved her.
My only regret about Tulsi Gabbard is that Trump didn’t choose her as his vice presidential nominee. Nothing against J.D. Vance, who I think is doing
The hunt for the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Yahya Sinwar, continues. Yesterday we learned more about how that has been going, including one close call when it appears the IDF missed Sinwar by days.
"Israeli commandos raided an elaborate tunnel complex in the southern Gaza Strip on Jan. 31 based on intelligence that Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, was hiding there, according to American and Israeli officials.
He had been, it turned out. But Mr. Sinwar had left the bunker beneath the city of Khan Younis just days earlier, leaving behind documents and stacks of Israeli shekels totaling about $1 million."

Americans are having a hard time finding the “joy” and “hope” that Democrat elites touted during their August convention, as they struggle to pay their bills while the cost of goods skyrockets. This includes car insurance prices, which, under Vice President Kamala Harris’s watch, rose 54 percent.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a dramatic rise in car insurance since President Joe Biden and Harris, the latter of whom Democrats have coronated to face off against former President Donald Trump, took office. From January 2021 to July 2024, car insurance rose a tremendous 54 percent.
The campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are arguing in advance of their high-stakes Sept. 10 debate over whether microphones should be muted except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.
While it’s common for campaigns to quibble beforehand over debate mechanics, both Harris and Trump are under pressure to deliver a strong performance next month in Philadelphia. The first debate during this campaign led to President Joe Biden’s departure from the race.
The Biden-Harris administration has not lifted a finger against Iran for a reported 200 attacks on US troops in the Middle East, which include firing on US Navy ships, closing the Suez Canal, launching a Hamas-Hezbollah-Houthi War against Israel, not to mention the atrocities Iran's regime commits every day against its own people. By ignoring sanctions against Iran and presenting no deterrence, the administration has, in fact, set up Iran to do all of that.
The US could probably close down Iran's election-interference activities, but [m]ore to the point, the administration has the same goal as the Iranian regime: it does not want Trump elected, either.
Within the larger Western Intelligence Community and government control system overall, there is always internal communication and coordination amid the primary players (the G7 and G20 crowd). No government does anything against a major communication player or Big Tech voice without the other governmental leaders having fore knowledge.
The U.S State Dept and Biden administration knew the French government were going to arrest Pavel Durov. The context and the issues behind the justification are ridiculous. Is Tim Cook now responsible for criminals who organize bank robberies on Apple iPhones?
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Monday that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content and acknowledged it was wrong to stifle The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
In an explosive letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Zuckerberg wrote that “senior Biden administration officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured” Meta to “censor” content related to the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.
The content the Biden administration requested that Meta take down included “humor and satire,” according to the Facebook founder, and he said he regrets complying with certain demands.
Today marks the third anniversary of the devastating Kabul Airport bombing that claimed the lives of 13 brave U.S. servicemen and women.
President Trump honored the 13 U.S. service members who tragically lost their lives three years ago during this chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan after Joe Biden surrendered to the Taliban.
Conspicuously absent from the ceremony were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—Biden is reportedly on vacation, while Harris is busy campaigning, disconnected from the painful memories still fresh in the hearts of many Americans.
A federal judge temporarily blocked another illegal effort by the Biden regime to give amnesty to illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens.
The Biden regime recently announced a program called “Keeping Families Together” that would have given amnesty to individuals who have entered the country illegally and consequently married an American citizen.
U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker issued an administrative stay just days after 16 Republican states, filed a challenge against the program, which would open up a pathway to citizen for up to a million illegal immigrants.
Goodbye, JFK Democrats
replies
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exit from the Democratic Party (or was he booted out?) is only the latest sign that there are no more JFK Democrats left in positions of power in the Democratic Party. President John F. Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist who fought against union and government corruption. He was a pro-life Catholic. He was laser-focused on faster growth ("we can do bettah") and saw sweeping tax rate reductions as a step toward achieving 4% to 5% growth.
Democrats are now for higher taxes: They ignore and excuse union and government corruption
Less than two months ago, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt after 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history.
Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate.
As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.
President Donald Trump paid his respects to the 13 U.S. troops who were killed three years ago during President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan — while the morning shows on the major networks ignored the anniversary.
Monday, August 26, 2024, marked three years since the day a suicide bomber affiliated with the local branch of the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS) killed 13 American service members and wounded dozens more at Kabul’s airport — while also murdering roughly 170 local civilians who were trying to flee the country.
Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery, laying a wreath alongside Marine Corporal Kelsee Lainhart, who was partially paralyzed by the blast.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) editorial board let loose on Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal in an op-ed on Monday.
Monday marked the third anniversary of the terrorist bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 Americans as the United States exited from the country during Biden’s botched rollout. While Kamala Harris honored their sacrifice in a statement, she said she holds no regrets over what happened during what led up to the bombing. “President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war,” she said.The WSJ editorial board noted that Biden’s withdrawal was tantamount to an indefensible failure:
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content. Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.
Along with documents, the Meta CEO said, the company has provided a dozen employees to be available for transcribed interviews, stressing Meta’s cooperation with the investigation.
